In a candid chat, the twin brothers duo, Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman revealed a few instances that they had to face post their superhit stint in the reality show, 'Roadies'.

However, the brothers duo was also called 'bullies' and faced other stereotypical judgements from people due to their stint on Roadies.
Recently, Raghu Ram and Rajiv Lakshman appeared on Cyrus Broacha's podcast, Cyrus Says, and narrated a few incidents from their lives when they faced repercussions due to their image on Roadies. Raghu, who is especially known for his rude personality, revealed that he was labelled as a bully. However, calling her intention on the show was actually the opposite, Raghu shared:
"I have an issue with the fact that people call us bullies but what we were doing was standing up to bullies. That’s how I see it, that’s what my intention was. If I saw someone being sexist, racist or really being mean to a group of people, I would take them on. That was me standing up to a bully."
